Kindles' hardware is good enough and devices are comparatively inexpensive, but the software is terrible.No out-of-box support for *.fb2, *.djvu, *.epub, *.chm, and dozens of other pretty common file formats.Third-party firmware (like Duokan) could fix this problem, but installing it is such a hassle...

Its usually unknown to people and not willing to accept reading experience on the tablet. They are book lover and love only books in its physical form.I decided to gift this to my school buddy and he is a crazy book lover, I always spoke to him about the experience kindle gives but he was not ready to buy in. I decided to gift him, in few months with kindle books available in India, he is all around looking for books making purchase and reading samples through Kindle.Buy once read everywhere was a surprise package to him, he still couldnt believe that the apps on all leading mobile platforms are free and he can continue reading from the last page on any device.

The experience he got with kindle reader is great, this product is handy with WIFI enabled, very clear in sunlight. He travels often due to his nature of job. He is able to download his favorite book and enjoying the book reading experience.

He feels the touch keyboards are not fast in responding.Initially it was hard for him to accept the page animation while doing page turns, but later with the usage and the technical reason behind it. He is happy with the overall experience

I bought Kindle recently and have been deeply satisfied with it. It helps me carry all the books that I always wanted to with me on the go. I use it at home, during travel, in coffee shops and anywhere I want to. This device has zero reading strain and it feels amazingly close to an actual book.As for the pricing in US this is being sold for (non ad version) $109 = INR 6060. In India I bought it for 6999. I think it is a fair deal. Most of the electronic items are sold in US at a much more skewed price difference including cameras, i Phones, television sets, laptops even hair dryers and electric shavers. So why this rant against the Kindle.

In the end if you are a voracious reader or even an average reader who loves reading books, this is an awesome killer device. And yes it looks cool as well.

This one of the must buy for all those people with curiosity to discover more...Carrying allthose kilos of hard cover books is not possible. This engineering marvel with all that technology hidden will do the help...

I have not tried any other ebook reader till now, so I do not have the right to draw comparison to Nook or Kobo or Sony readers.But what I love about Kindle is the ecosystem, with support for practically every OS out there albeit no Linux. And buying from Kindle store is a damn easy job too.
